Received my pipes today,

slight mix up when posting so I got a set without a flange but the guy was a champ when i rang him & refunded me the price of itthumbsup.gif

hopefully I'll get a chance to dummy fit them tomorrow thumbsup.gif

nice pipes mate :thumbsup: cut the inside off about 20 mill get some offset going :D

Howdy,

Couple of questions. I've got an Nm35 Stagea

Where's the best place to get an immobilizer/alarm installed? Do most of you buy a kit off ebay and then get a place like Hobart Audio to install it? I recently imported the car and it's come with an alarm (and maybe an immobiliser) but my insurer quoted that I needed an 'Australian Standard immobiliser,' which has me worried if it got knocked off.

Also, where's the cheapest place to get a dump and catback installed? I rang up Moonah Mufflers and Carline and the latter seems the cheaper for an install.

Cheers

best bet is to get onto some1 on here thats down thay way and is a wizz on the welder / tig and get them to do it / make one, the exaust shops will cost you 10x wat there worth :) i dont know any1 down hobart way sorry

I'm sourcing the exhaust and dump in SA and VIC from those that have already custom built them for the m35. Just need someone to install them.

I'll pop into Auto Addiction and see what they can do for me.Cheers

I have no idea how difficult this would be in an m35 but I change the r33's exhaust over about once a month and am a self maintenance newb. I have a track exhaust which gets shoved on and then I have my stock one for normal driving, keeps the neighbours/police/wife happy ;)

Prop her up on some axle stands and have a good look how difficult it is, if it doesn't have a robotic goat under there bleating at you about safe sex you're probably going to enjoy doing it yourself. I'd be keen to help out (goat aside) if you want a hand, and I'm sure I can volunteer another few people off here too :)

I've been told that changing the dump on a m35 is not a fun task at all

I hereby retract my offer of help. Your goat is outside my area of expertise.

Go somewhere like here http://www.yellowpages.com.au/tas/kingston/kingborough-exhausts-12099199-listing.html

cut it from where the flange bend goes to the smaller pipe and weld the it back on? or you want it so you can swap at times?

Yeah i was going to do that but thought might be safe to have it so if i need to change them over i can thumbsup.gif

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
